You can change your PHP version in cPanel using either "Select PHP Version" (recommended) or "MultiPHP Manager", depending on whether you want to change it account-wide or per domain.
Using Select PHP Version (recommended)
This uses CloudLinux's hardened PHP builds and offers the most configuration options.
- Log in to cPanel.
- Find Select PHP Version under the Software section (or search for it).
- Use the dropdown next to "Current PHP version" to choose a new version, then click Apply. This changes PHP for your entire cPanel account.
You can confirm the change afterward with a PHP info page.
Using MultiPHP Manager
Use this if you need different PHP versions on different domains within the same cPanel account.
- Log in to cPanel.
- Find MultiPHP Manager under the Software section.
- Tick the domain(s) you want to change, choose a PHP version from the dropdown, and click Apply.
